The Young Professional Women in Energy (YPWE) will hold a Launch Academy April 30 and May 1, at the CONSOL Gas Training Academy in Canonsburg.
This event will focus on the Fundamentals of Shale, presented by Jim Ladlee, Penn State Marcellus Center for Outreach and Research and ShaleTEC, and Dan Brockett, Penn State Extension Marcellus Education Team.

Topics discussed will include shale economics, geology, drilling practices, well construction, reservoir stimulation and well completion, production and workforce.
The course will be followed by a YPWE Happy Hour at Jackson’s Restaurant, where attendees have the chance to network with members and industry professionals.
